Onion Rings Panggang

Ingredients

¼ cup all-purpose flour

¼ tsp black pepper

¼ tsp cayenne- serbuk cili

salt to taste

1 cup plain yogurt- tairu

2 eggs

½ cup plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

4 cups finely crushed potato chips or cornflakes or breadcrumb

2 large onions

3 tblsp vegetable oil

salt to sprinkle

What to Do:

Preheat the oven to 200 celsius.
In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup (35 grams) flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper and 1/4 tsp cayenne.  

In another medium bowl, combine the yogurt, eggs and 1/2 cup (70 grams) plus 2 tbsp flour. Whisk until a smooth batter is formed.

Crush all the chips or bread crumbs  finely and place them in a bowl. 
Peel the onions and cut them into 1/2 inch (1 cm) rings.

Cover a baking sheet with a piece of parchment. Drizzle with 3 tbsp vegetable oil, then pop it into the hot oven for 8 minutes – or until the oil just starts to smoke.
In the meantime, toss the onion rings in the flour mixture.
Dip each ring into the batter.  Let the excess batter dribble off a little.

Place the rings on the hot baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, then flip each ring over before baking for another 8 minutes.
Since you will probably have more rings than you can fit in one baking sheet you might need to work in batches.
Sprinkle with salt while the rings are still hot. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
